Why This Little Girl's Drawing of Her Mom Is Going Viral

Kids draw wacky pictures without prompting all the time, but the above drawing, featuring a student's mom "in the morning" vs. "when she is going out," was apparently part of an actual class assignment. An anonymous Reddit user posted the photo with the caption, "My friend's 6-year-old daughter drew this at school..."

Commenters found the kid's portrayal of her mom hilarious but also ridiculous, because why would a teacher ask her class to do this assignment? One Imgur commenter named hoagiexcore wrote, "What the hell kind of drawing prompt is that?" while another named SneakyLeprechaun on Reddit said, "I used to get projects like this in early elementary school. They're meant as gifts and they're set up to get funny/cute responses to amuse the parents."
